Hi everyone. In typesetting chamber music with accompaniment, I would like to print the tempo marks on the bottom staff.
Unfortunately, a tempo change produces a lot of space upon the bottom staff, until the last tempo mark. I think that a similar issue has already been discussed two years ago <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Possible-bug-with-tempo-mark-spacing-td218330.html> but I did not understand how to work it out. Here is an example. Thanks in advance, Francesco %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.20.0" global = { \tempo "Adagio" s1*30 \tempo "Allegro" s1*2 } music = \relative c'' { \repeat unfold 33 { a1 } } \layout { \context { \name "MarkLine" \type "Engraver_group" \consists Output_property_engraver \consists Axis_group_engraver \consists Mark_engraver \consists Metronome_mark_engraver \override RehearsalMark.extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 1) \override MetronomeMark.extra-spacing-width = #'(0.5 . 0) \override VerticalAxisGroup.minimum-Y-extent = #'(-2 . 2) \override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-staff-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 1) (minimum-distance . 1) (padding . 1) (stretchability . 3)) } \context { \Score \remove Mark_engraver \remove Metronome_mark_engraver \accepts MarkLine } } \score { << \new Staff << \global \music >> \new Staff << \global \music >> \new MarkLine \global \new Staff << \global \music >> >> } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
